Chapter 450 Giving the Newcomer a Little Surprise
【Calendula】, 【Winter Dream Flower】.
The two newly emerged magical girls of Snow City are not strong enough and have low popularity. Since their debut, they have only managed to complete five monster-blocking battles.
They even encountered a powerful monster enhanced by a celestial magic storm, and only managed to defeat it thanks to the support of Shencheng's team.
"I'm sorry...we were too weak..."
After the great battle, Marigold's dejected expression is still remembered by local fans, who wrote to the Snow City Heroes Association, asking them to contact a powerful veteran team to conduct teaching activities.
—The magical girl training trip is a regular event held by the Hero Association.
During holidays, the Hero Association coordinates magical girls from different regions to travel and rotate duties with each other, ensuring that there is a magical girl squad stationed in every city.
If there are rookie teams in the target region that urgently need to improve their skills, the Hero Association will arrange a training session between senior and junior members to ensure the growth of the rookies.
It can also help teams from different regions connect, and sales of merchandise and fan art will also increase accordingly.
The newcomers gained valuable experience and guidance from their seniors, the team members who went out received a free trip, fans of both sides enjoyed a delightful get-together, and fanfiction authors found new inspiration.
Everyone has a bright future.
"In other words..."
Later, the golden-orange magical girl gripped her wand tightly, watching the sheep-like monster slowly moving forward and gnawing on the roadside trees.
Beside her, a petite girl in pink and purple was trembling with nervousness.
"Gold, marigold...are we really going to...fight it...?"
"Don't be afraid, he's just an ordinary weirdo. We can definitely handle it! Besides, we have Senior Hyacinth looking out for us!"
Jinmai mustered her courage and spoke to Mengdonghua beside her.
Not far away, Hyacinth and Iris stood on the roof of a bungalow, curiously observing the sheep-like creature.
"A monster of this strength... is quite rare where we live."
Hyacinth said to the iris beside her.
The iris stood calmly, nodding slightly in agreement, without saying anything more.
A sheep-like monster? In Chengdu, a city teeming with demons and monsters, this creature that only knows how to gnaw on roadside trees is practically a pet.
However, it wouldn't be right to let it devour all the roadside trees in the entire Snow City, not to mention its enormous, rampaging size, which has absolutely nothing to do with being a pet.
Soon, Marigold and Winter Flower launched their attack.
"Hey!"
"I'll charge up from this side... Take this!"
Clang, bang, and buzz.
Magic missiles and magic rays, along with melee attacks using wands to gather magic power and strike, constituted the entirety of the two newcomers' tactics.
"Their attack methods seem a bit monotonous," Iris said.
"Yes, but by the standards of a newcomer, being able to connect this series of attacks is already quite good," Hyacinth chimed in.
Perhaps knowing that their seniors were watching, Marigold and Winter Flower fought with great enthusiasm, and after much effort, they knocked the Sheep Monster to the ground, where it turned into magical particles and gradually dispersed.
"Huff...huff...finally, finally got it down...!"
Marigold leaned against the railing, panting heavily, but her eyes were filled with joy and anticipation.
Today's battle was the smoothest one I've ever had with Meng Donghua since we became magical girls.
Was it because Hyacinth was watching from the sidelines? Marigold felt full of energy and couldn't wait to show her best side to her senior.
"Hyacinth-senpai—Iris-senpai—!"
After confirming that the strange man had completely disappeared, Marigold excitedly turned around and waved to Hyacinth and Iris, who were watching the battle not far away.
The iris smiled and waved in return, then stepped forward.
"Hello, Miss Marigold and Miss Winterflower."
"Wow... Hello..."
Upon seeing the pure white and elegant iris, the petite winter jasmine huddled behind the marigold and timidly spoke, her cheeks blushing like apples on the snow.
"I saw your fight just now, and you fought very well."
Hyacinth then stepped forward, smiling, and said...
"You played much better than when I first debuted! If there's anything to regret, it's that your attack style was a bit too monotonous."
"Attack methods... Ah, is it because there aren't enough types of magic? Or perhaps..."
The two chatted happily.
Unbeknownst to anyone, the flow of magic around them was silently changing, and the Hero Association's support team was nowhere to be seen. Instead, some things that shouldn't have been there appeared:
For example, the magical patterns spreading across the ground, the barrier patterns quietly advancing beneath the snow, and the faint scent of gardenias.
It wasn't until Hyacinth, acting as a senior, imparted her combat experience, and Marigold and Iris thoughtfully took notes in their notebooks, that Iris finally noticed something amiss—
"Hyacinth, how long have we been talking?"
"Hmm? It's been about ten minutes... Oh right, why hasn't the logistics and maintenance team from Snow City arrived yet? Is it our custom here to clean up after ourselves?"
Marigold shook her head blankly.
"No, I remember the support team used to arrive every five minutes or so—"
"Clatter!"
A snap of the fingers interrupted the marigold's mutterings.
A wave of magic swept around, ruthlessly enveloping everyone as if a solid cage had been placed in its place, cutting off all escape routes.
Then, the sweet laughter that rang in her ears sent a chill down Hyacinth's spine:
"Hehehe... Hahahahahaha..."
"What a delightful scene! A seasoned veteran imparting his experience to a newcomer – I absolutely love this kind of scene!"
Her sweet and soft voice was enveloped in the overflowing laughter of a young girl.
What was clearly a melodious, delicate voice, like music, sounded like the whispers of a demon from hell to Hyacinth and the other person.
Hyacinth did indeed look like it had seen a ghost.
With her wand transformed into a sword and shield, the sky-blue magical girl turned to look in the direction of the sound, her eyes meeting those of the golden-haired fox girl who was leisurely sitting on her wand and floating.
Its bright blue fox eyes were full of amusement and laughter, and its little fox paws swung leisurely in the air, inadvertently matching its fox tail, as if they could steal the gaze of anyone who looked at it.
"Eh?... Ah, ahhh! Hyacinth-senpai, could that in the sky be—"
Marigold looked completely bewildered, clutching her wand and staring blankly for a long time before suddenly snapping out of her daze and exclaiming in surprise.
"...That's right, [Heart Moon Fox]."
Hyacinth clenched her teeth and uttered the code name through gritted teeth.
Anyone who is a magical girl, or has been involved in the magical girl fandom for even a short time, can easily state this fact:
The Heart Moon Fox is not scary; her aggression is very low.
However, if Xin Yuehu appears at the scene, there's a very high chance that another highly aggressive individual will appear beside her—
The words Bai Lili uttered seemed to echo in everyone's minds from the video she posted on her video account 【绚丽绚烂☆超绝熠亮☆魔法少女☆白丽莉】.
"Xin Yuehu might be willing to play with you, but if that guy next to her shows up, you'd better run as fast as you can."
This seems to perfectly reflect the scene described in the line.
Behind the golden fox girl, a pair of heterochromatic cat eyes appeared in the shadows beside the fox's tail, casting their gaze at the hyacinth with a smile that seemed to be scrutinizing its prey.
Heart Moon Fox, Hellcat
Shining☆ debut!
